INGREDIENTS:

• ¼ cup milk
• ¼ cup soft butter
• ¼ cup water
• 3 cups All Purpose Gluten-Free Baking Flour
• 2 tsp xanthan gum
• 2 tsp active dry yeast
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup white sugar
• 3 beaten eggs
• 2 tsp orange zest
• ¼ cup orange juice
• ½ cup melted butter
• ¼ cup white sugar

PREPARTION METHOD:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a pan, heat the milk and water at 110°F (45°C) and add the active dry yeast. Once combined, let it rest for 15 mins. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (all-purpose Gluten-Free flour, xanthan gum, salt, orange zest and white sugar). Add in ½ cup of soft butter, warm milk-water mixture, 3 beaten eggs and mix thoroughly. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly with floured hands. Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size. Split the dough and shape it into round loafs with a round knob on top and thin sticks on sides. Let them rest for 30 minutes. Then, bake for about 40 mins. In another bowl, mix ¼ cup of orange juice and ½ cup of melted butter. Remove loafs from the oven and let cool. Cover with the orange juice mixture and sprinkle with white sugar. Serve and enjoy!
